Energising our centre, making the future

In 2002, the Oil and Gas Discovery Centre was a hub of knowledge in the most prominent resource of Brunei, the Oil and Gas Industry. The centre begins

its origin as an inspiration for our youth to be more interested and educated in the area that exhibited momentous chapters of the industry of 90 years.

As the years passed, the centre slowly transitions itself to be more than

that. With a vision to be the premiere science centre in cultivating our youth of today for our leaders of tomorrow, OGDC has embarked the journey to reach its fullest potential to strengthen our innovation and creativity in exhibiting high-end and bring out interactive science exhibitions.

The edutainment journey will start with understanding the origins of petroleum with specific reference to what makes Brunei’s geology important. A walk deeper through the oil and gas zone allows you to appreciate the importance of health, environment and safety (HSE) in the industry.

Be mesmerised with the highlight of the exhibition hall which is the centre’s 77 tonne aquarium filled with live corals and the flourishing ecosystem commonly found beneath an oil rig. This exhibit aims to recreate with scientific accuracy of Brunei’s existing natural aquatic habitats, where a lot of attention on the unique qualities of each habitat and how these qualities have made it possible for life to exist beneath the surface.

Learn and appreciate the importance of renewable energy and how to preserve our energy by experiencing the eye-opening energy exhibitions from understanding the function of solar panels, to the operation of wind turbines to the technicality of wave energy, as our nation is strategising on the usage of this variety of energy resources for a sustainable future.

With that, the centre welcomes everyone to visit the new and improved Oil and Gas Discovery Centre (OGDC) which is now called Seria Energy Lab (SEL). Be it an educational visit or a fun filled family trip or a birthday party, the modern and exhilarating learning space is suitable for a fun time or knowledgeable trip. Learn and experience science in an impactful way with SEL’s Science Communicators, they will ensure that you discover new possibilities every step made in our exhibition hall.
